There are times when we are faced with scriptures that don’t really make sense. It’s difficult to put two and two together. But that doesn’t mean that we’ve already failed in understanding it. We have to remember that not being able to discern certain scriptures is perfectly fine. After all, the Bible isn’t always clear.

In today’s episode, we queer a Bible scripture that a listener requested. This is a text from Mark 11:12-14 which briefly talks about Jesus getting angry at a fig tree for bearing no fruits. Mind you that during that time, the fig tree wasn’t in the season to bear fruit. So listen on to hear what we think about this passage and of Jesus’ anger.

In this week’s episode, we dive into the unexpected Biblical foundation for queering theology. Reinterpreting scripture isn’t something that we came up with — it’s not something new at all! It’s a process and a work that has been done ever since Biblical times. 

In this episode, we talk about:

The parallels in the language used in two separate passages

Why the Bible and its passages shouldn’t be used in a way that they’re not intended for

Understanding the Bible and its underlying politics

Book of Revelation Commentary Part 4

AS we shall discover together in working slowly through this text, The Book of Revelationis a Trinitarian text. Of course, it does not have the post-Nicene terminology. In this text, one will not find the language of Father, Son and Spirit as one finds abundantly in John’s Gospel and in post-nicene formula. Rather, one will find God, Jesus Christ, and the Spirit which is more similar to Paul’s…

Christian scriptures

“Talking of battles,” Dacius mentioned, “when are you going to maneuver in opposition to Licinius?”

“It will not be lengthy now. He has begun to oppress the church and God will certainly ship him into my palms quickly.”

“It’s been a very long time since I learn the Christian scriptures,” Dacius mentioned, “however I appear to recollect one thing that applies right here.”

Constantine smiled. “The passage from the writings of the Apostle Paul about placing on the breastplate of righteousness, the protect of religion and the sword of the spirit? It’s one among my favorites.”

“That isn’t the one.” Dacius’ face was instantly grave. “I bear in mind now. It’s one thing Jesus of Nazareth mentioned however maybe you’ll relatively not hear it.”

“Why not?”

“The phrases had been these: “What shall it revenue a person, if he shall achieve the entire world, and lose his personal soul?”’

Flagon of wine and a silver cup

Constantine stared on the outdated soldier, who had been his pal and mentor for many of his life, whereas the acquainted pink haze of explosive anger which appeared to return increasingly more usually these days forged a sudden pall between them. Even in his anger, although, he realized it was not Dacius who had modified, however himself, and the belief didn’t serve to minimize the impact. With out answering, he went to a small desk that held a flagon of wine and a silver cup, poured a full cup and drank it down with out providing any to the others. When lastly he turned again to the opposite two, his lips had been nonetheless white with anger.

“If you weren’t who you might be, Dacius,” he mentioned stiffly, “you’ll be in your method to the headsman’s axe proper now.”
